Crimp Tool

is there a way to get a ethernet plug module on to a cat5 wire without a crimping tool?

i just got a 100 foot ethernet cable and one of the ends just busted right off. i have wire sheers but no crimping tool. the plug module thingys are only like 88 cents but the cripming tools are like 17 to 49 bucks. is there a way to get the plug module on without this tool?

Hmm,

Here is an idea if you go to college(or live near one) or you can try at work.

Just go in to the IT department and ask to borrow a pair for 5 min.

IT people may be busy, but they aren't mean they should gladly oblige, especially if you offer to do it right there in front of them so they know you will not run off with them.
